    Lippert On-the-go Ladder

    To be honest, while we had the 3670, using the mounted ladder to get on the roof was never a problem at 165 lbs. I had an Extend & Climb to get at the front cap and slides for cleaning, but always used the rear ladder to get on the roof. Did replace a couple of cracking rung supports, but the...

    No WATER!!

    The Augusta was the same basic layout as the BH3670. The pipes for the W/D ran through a pipe chase above the curbside cargo door. At the port in the closet is where the shutoff valves were installed. If you can reach them, turn them off and disconnect the washer lines and attach a length of...

    is it possible to heat bedroom area of 5th wheel trailer only to save on battery life

    On the topic of closing off furnace vents. If you replace the stock floor registers with adjustable ones, there is no way closing off some to redirect the flow will result in damage or fire. Did it with the 3670 we had for almost 11 years. That’s not the same as blocking the lines right at the...

    Quietest Forum of them all?

    Back when we had a 3670 and s GMC 3500 dually, I put Timbrens on. Easy install, no fiddling with air lines, and without the trailer on, the standard leaf springs still rode “like a truck[emoji23]”. But then, we only towed twice a year, 200 miles to a seasonal site and back. Ya pays yer money...

    Replacing basement floor, have questions

    When we had the 3670, I taped wire mesh over the grame holes then used spray expansion foam over it to hold it. For openings with wires or struts, a piece of old inner tube with a slot to a hole just big enough to fit over the object, screwed to the frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bighorn - Holding tanks locations

    If it’s not in the UDC, look for a round opening in the frame on the sewer connection side. They’ve been known to hide valves behind the frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Window screen replacement

    If the screen frame isn’t broken, you can replace the screen mesh yourself. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the spline from the channel. It may be glued in spots, but you can work it loose by picking at it. Then remove the mesh. Use new mesh cut about an inch larger than the frame...

    Water leak, no watering coach

    If you are able to replace it, find a brass one. The Sharkbite idea is a good one. When ours in the 3670 blew, it was behind the toilet, not the shower faucet. Remedy was to grab the lines to it and pull it down into the basement. Cut the junk off and used a Sharkbite one way check valve as a...

    Water leak, no watering coach

    Undoubtedly the anti-siphon valve has self-destructed up in a wall cavity. If you’re lucky, it’s located behind a removable plate in the shower. Unlucky, it’s hidden in a wall cavity behind and above the toilet with no direct access. From personal experience, it’s a poorly designed piece of...

    Cleaning ducting

    If feces left behind is a concern, maybe one of those dryer vent brush sets you connect to an electric drill would get it loose. They typically will extend(sections) to about 15 feet. Just be sure to always run the drill in the drive setting, not reverse, even when backing it out. If you reverse...

    Gravity Fill Leaking -

    If you have one of the earlier versions of the Anderson valve, it may be leaking water to the tank even though it’s set to City water. Was a common problem a few years back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
